Hi everyone. Well this week is over with progress made on the paperwork side (a very big thing for the Cancer Agency) as well as a trip to Vancouver to finish off the clinical trial testing. We had a good visit with Dr. Chia. Although he is no longer my oncologist he's still acting as my adviser to Dr. Browman, giving him the advice he needs about the new chemo I start next week. That's right - finally start herceptin as well as a strong chemo called paclitaxel. The swelling in the face area has increased (still trying to get used to the Mick Jagger lips!) but I've started a treatment for that as well. I am glad we have lots of company here in August but I'll still need some rest time in between ( so will Patty!). Although I want to start the treatment next week it's also supposed to be a great week for fishing. I might have to fish right up to the time of the treatment!
Take care, Dallas

Dallas, It was so great to talk to you last night. You sound so STRONG!!If there is anyone on the planet who can pull this off-it's you. You master everything you set out to do-golf, fishing and now this. It's no different! Can't wait to see you, Love Anne ( and Brian)
Hello Dallas and Patty - I finally figured how to access your blog, hopefully I will figure how to send this note. We are very glad that you are now getting the new medications needed for treatment. Saw the picture of your fish, it looked a good size. We were just away for a week of camping at Trev's property in Turtle Valley. Had a good time with the water craft on the Little Shuswap, also did some atv'ing. At home now and with the weather cooling will be doing home projects for the next week. Keeping you and Patty in our thoughts. Pearl
The fish will still be there, waiting for when your feeling better. Go get er done Big D.
